Rrrarrrr!!

Thank you, Emilie. This costume is awesome! Annabelle wanted to put it on immediately. She looked in the mirror and roared. It was perfect. There was a small chance that it was going to look like Barney but it doesn't. It has two little wings in the back and the leggings make it the perfect head-to-toe look. I can't wait for Halloween to come. We are going to Oklahoma Christian again. We know some of the girls from church and they insist that we go see them.

Yep, I think she likes it!

Ugh!

Aaron was sick for about 7 days. He had a high fever and a cold. He tried so hard not to be around Annabelle but she is so cute and sweet how could you stay away? So she got sick and wanted to rest and sleep instead of play and run. As far as sick kids go she was the best. She was happy even though she was sick. She smiled through her pacifier and said "happy, happy". It was so sweet. I felt bad every time I touched her head with my cheek, it was so hot! She's all better now. Her appetite is back and she enjoys playing and running. So far I have not been sick. But my daily routine was put on hold when Annabelle is sick. When Annabelle is sick, everyone is sick.

My New Dress!

Monday, I started working on this dress. I got the pattern from my mom who got it from her mom. Grandma took such good care of her patterns; when she was finished with it she ironed it and fit it perfectly back in the envelope. I got it all back in there when I was done so that Annabelle can use it when she has a little girl.
This project began with a tote bag. I got a free bag from my boss, it had a logo that wasn't very attractive. I wanted to cover it up and make it look more stylish. I got some patterned fabric and some pretty red trim. After I was done with the tote bag I made a shoulder bag out of some old jeans and used some more of this fabric. If you want to see the bags check our my other blog: Trish's Art.
I didn't have enough fabric to make anything so I went digging in my extra fabric box. I found this ultra suede from Aaron's Halloween cape from several years ago and it was just enough. Well, the solid field fabric was perfect for the busy patterns that I put together. The pockets are adorable with the red fringe. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I didn't know I was capable of creating something so chic.


Thanks to Mom for teaching me to sew and thanks to Grandma for such a cute pattern. This is something that we will remembered for generations. I still cherish the clothes that Grandma and Mom made for me.

Pizza!!!

Well, everyone knows that Annabelle loves pizza but we didn't know that she would do anything to get it. Earlier this week after her morning nap, we went to Hobby Lobby. It was nearly 12:30 when we got home. I guess she was really hungry because she went straight into the house. Opened the fridge and took out some left over pizza. She opened the zip lock bag and took out the biggest piece of pizza and started eating it. It was so cute, I just let her keep eating it. I was reminded how big she is and how she can do new things for herself every day. Or maybe she just really loves pizza!

New Sprinkler

Wednesday night I was at Walmart. Just taking my time shopping while I didn't have AB, she was at home in bed. I was looking at the clearance swimming stuff and found this cute Elmo sprinkler. I had to have it. It was only 3 bucks. I knew Annabelle would love it. And these pictures are the proof. She had so much fun playing with the water. She stepped on the edge and the other water went higher and sprayed her in the face. It was so fun. I went back to get some to give as gifts but they were already gone. I'm sure I'll find something else.
